'A boisterous romp that spotlights serious social issues' Daily Mail'A Down Under Demon Copperhead… it's more than feel-good, it's feel-everything. What a triumph' A. J. FINN'Unpredictable, fantastic… It takes a charged narrative, like Dickens achieves, and as Dalton does too, to reach the heart and the brain – writing that is able to carry both stories, the individual and the political/personal… To tell you more would spoil this complicated and surprising story. You should read it.' Sydney Morning Herald'Trent Dalton's third novel reminds me of the 1980s advertising slogan for the author's home state of Queensland: Beautiful one day, perfect the next … Lola in the Mirror is a bold, big-hearted, hopeful, humorous, dark, reflective, truthful, superbly written novel that confirms Dalton's place in all the shimmering skies (to borrow the title of his second novel) of Australian literature. He is not a rising star but a star full stop.' The Australian
